John Kerry, former Democratic presidential candidate, Secretary of State, and current Biden climate envoy, acknowledged that President Donald Trump was correct regarding the migrant crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border during the Biden administration. Kerry stated that Democrats, including President Joe Biden, allowed the southern border to be "under siege" by migrants, which he described as a failure in border security policy. He emphasized the importance of a protected border for maintaining national sovereignty, noting, "Without a border protected, you don’t have a nation." Kerry also expressed regret that Biden’s enforcement of immigration laws was not more prominently communicated. This admission marks a notable departure from previous Democratic stances on immigration and border security.
